A kilobyte is 1000 bytes. A kibibyte is 1024 bytes. Windows measures in kibibytes but then says the result in kilobytes, making it look less than it is, i.e. if you connect a 1000 GB (931 GiB) drive to a Windows machine, it will tell you that it's 931 GB. It isn't. You're getting every byte you paid for.
Other operating systems don't lie to you.
